Wild Beauty (complete)

Open Wounds and Mended Hearts

Anna's POV

It's been a few months since I was in the hospital. I still get a pain in my neck every now and then from where Kale injected me with the needle.  Speaking of Kale, he's dead. Dean killed him shortly after I was injected. And as for Kaitlynn and Cain, they're hiding out somewhere. I was told that Kaitlynn was badly injured after the mace incident. She's lucky didn't kill her.

My relationship with Dean is better. I still haven't forgiven him yet. It's gonna take a lot of grovelling for me to be fully satisfied. He does all my chores for me, makes all my food for me, makes sure I don't step in puddles, and takes me to the spa against my will. He says 'a girl as pretty as me needs to be pampered all of the time." Like, whatever man.

I haven't been talking to him either and it kind of hurts to see how much it affects him. He tries to talk to me about my day or how I feel but I never respond. So today, I'm finally going to forgive him.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen and saw Dean and a few other pack members talking in there. Everyone went silent when they saw me. I took a deep breath, walked up to Dean and hugged him. I haven't relived him since I was before the Kaitlynn incident.

I took a step back, "I forgive you."

He stared at me in complete shock then, out of nowhere, kissed me with as much passion as possible. It was awkward for me because I haven't kissed him in so long. It was also overwhelming because I have felt sparks like that for months. It felt so good, like we were melting into each other.

I finally kissed him back. Not with as much passion but he didn't mind at all. We pulled apart and his eyes were bright gold. He must be very happy now because of that kiss.

"Do you want to continue this or are we moving too fast?" he asked still with glowing eyes.

I kissed him again and right when he was about to deepen it I pulled away and skipped outside with a fresh apple in my hand. As I took a bite I could hear him say 'such a little tease'. I smirked and decided to take a walk through the forest.

I heard all the birds chirping their songs and saw some gorgeous flowers at full bloom. There was a slight breeze coming up from the south. It brought warm air with it but it wasn't to overwhelming. A familiar scent was caught in the wind and the birds went silent. I could feel my skin start to crawl from how eerie it was at the moment.

The next thing I know I'm pinned up against a true with my arm twisted behind my back. "You broke five of my ribs and one punctured my lung. It took me twice as long to heal then it should have, and now; you're gonna get hurt really bad."

I felt a knife at the edge of my throat and I let my torso be engulfed with flames. I turned around and saw Kaitlynn screaming from the burns that now covered her face, chest and arms.

The knife that she dropped and melted it in my hand. I looked up at her and could tell she was already healing, "So I heard that you're the only witch left alive. Tony couldn't kill you because you were born into the pack. Looking back at recent events, I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed back in the pack. Ever."

"What the hell does that mean!?" she yelled at me.

I smirked, "it means I can do this." I changed my eye color and tackles her to the ground, "I hope you're not afraid of heights." I grabbed her by her hair and flew straight up. I went past the tree tops and into the clouds.

"Put me the fuck down now!" She said holding onto her hair.

"I'm pretty sure from this height that if I let you go, you'd look like a pancake."

"You know what I mean you idiot!"

"Actually," I said throwing her up higher into the air. She belted out a high pitch, blood curdling scream. I caught her by her ankle to stop her from falling any further. "I don't know what you mean."

"Please put me down! I'll do anything you want me to. Just let me go!" she pleaded with all her might.

"Anything?" I inquired.

"Yes! I'll do whatever you want me to do." She said, giving her last ditch effort.

"Well I want you to die so that's what is going to happen."

"No! Please don't. Please!" she started to cry but I didn't feel bad. I flew down back to the tree tops and down a tree that had no leaves on it.

"Any final words?" I asked before I ended her life.

"Tell Cain I love him." I nodded and flipped her back up right. Then, very quickly, I pushed her body against a broken tree branch. It went through her throat and blood squirted out. I could hear her choking and gasping for air. Her gaging filled the quiet air and I felt slightly sorry for her. Yet again, I didn't. I watched her suffer for the next five minutes until the light in her eyes faded.

I shut her eyes so I couldn't see how lifeless they were and then I heard Dean yell something about finding me. I rolled my own eyes and swooped down towards the forest floor. I flew in the direction of his voice while dodging trees. I came out in the backyard and flew straight into Dean. I picked him up and he let out a yelp of surprise.

"Hey," I said holding him bridal style.

"You do know that this demotes my masculinity, right?" he said referring to the way I was holding him.

"Does it look like I care?" I said chuckling. "Oh, we need to go talk to Cain."

"Why? That maniac planned on killing you and it almost happened!!"

"I gotta tell him that Kaitlyn loves him."

He looked at me very suspiciously, "what did you do?"

"We just had a misunderstanding."

"Uh huh, sure."

We finally arrived at the old warehouse and could hear a fight going on. Probably just some training. I landed and let Dean stand. I left my wings out and walked to the big sliding door and slid it open. The fight stopped instantly and everyone glared at us.

"Before you do anything," I said eyeing the hatchet that was firmly grasped in Cains' hand, "I have a message from Kaitlynn."

"What did you do to her? Where is she?!"

"She wanted me to tell her she loves you." I said nonchalantly.

"Is that it? Nothing else?"

"Oh, she's stuck in a tree. You should find her." I turned and walked away then stopped. Dean was still standing in the doorway and was growling non stop. "Come on boy, we don't have all day." I said to him.

It took him a while but he finally reached my side, "We done here?" he asked.

"Yep. Can I ride on your back in wolf form?" I asked excitedly. He nodded his head while laughing.

He stripped nude and shifted into his huge black wolf. I grabbed his clothes and hopped on his back. I forgot how soft his fur was. It was nice, warm and comfy. We rode back to the pack house and I was really tired.

I hopped off his back and gave him his clothes after he shifted back. I walked into the pack house and to Deans' room instead of my own and took a nap on his king sized bed with his fluffy navy blue blanket. It smelt so much like him that it felt like he was here. The only thing missing was the warmth of his body next to mine. I slowly fell into a deep sleep with Dean on my mind.
